The Origin of Seamless Switcher
As the popularity and use of multimedia devices increase, people's demand for switching high-quality video and audio between different devices is gradually increasing. That's where switchers come in, providing a simple and efficient way to manage multiple host input sources and switch outputs on display devices. The more common ones are HDMI switcher, DVI switcher, and VGA switcher; these switchers generally have a black screen for about 3 to 5 seconds when switching, and then the drawing can be switched to the current host, giving We have brought some bad user experiences, so is there a switcher that does not black out when switching?
In order to solve the problem that the display device will not have a black screen when switching the host signal source, a seamless switcher has emerged. Compared with the ordinary switcher, the seamless switcher, when using it, the signal of the main unit is switched over at once, just like watching a movie, and when switching, it is like switching a lens, seamlessly connected.
Types of seamless switchers
The more common seamless switchers mainly include seamless switch matrix, KVM seamless switcher, HDMI seamless switcher, etc. According to the number of hosts and monitors that can be connected, they can be divided into 2 in 1 out, 2 in 2 out , 4 in 1 out, 4 in 2 out, 4 in 4 out, 8 in 1 out, 8 in 2 out, 8 in 4 out, etc.; according to different input video interfaces, it can be divided into HDMI seamless switcher, HDMI KVM seamless switcher, HDMI seamless matrix, DP seamless switcher, DP KVM seamless switcher, DP seamless matrix, DVI seamless switcher, DVI KVM seamless switcher, DVI seamless matrix, VGA seamless Switcher, VGA KVM seamless switcher, VGA seamless matrix, SDI seamless switcher, SDI seamless matrix, hybrid seamless matrix switcher, etc.
The difference between seamless switcher and traditional switcher
In terms of appearance and basic functions, there is no difference between a seamless switcher and a traditional switcher. The difference between the seamless switcher and the traditional switcher is that the process of host switching is smooth and smooth, and there will be no problems such as slow switching time, black screen, and blurred screen. The main feature is seamless switching.
If you have requirements on the time and switching experience of switching hosts, then the seamless switcher is the first choice; of course, if you need multiple hosts to share functions such as keyboard, mouse, and U disk connection, you can consider choosing a suitable one. KVM seamless switcher. Here are some examples to explain to you:
2-in 1-out KVM seamless switch: This KVM seamless switch allows you to switch between two computers, suitable for home or personal use.
4-in 1-out KVM seamless switch: This KVM seamless switch allows you to switch between four computers, suitable for small offices or studios.
8-in 1-out KVM seamless switch: This KVM seamless switch allows you to switch between eight computers, suitable for medium-sized offices or classrooms.
16-in 1-out KVM seamless switch: This KVM seamless switch allows you to switch between 16 computers, suitable for large offices or conference rooms.
In general, the switcher can help us save space and cost, and the seamless switcher improves our experience.
